I wonder if the people of California can sue the state for making the state a fire hazard by failure to properly manage and maintain the undeveloped land and forests?

“...it would instead rely on companies to self-certify that their supply chains are not contributing to tropical deforestation or peatland destruction.”

“Self-certify” — sure.

Can CA sue itself for cutting down parts of the Redwood Forest to rebuild SF after the 1906 earthquake?
The area is still there and still hasn’t any Redwoods growing there.

In other words, any time the burocrats decide something is bad they will be raking in the bucks.

This comment has nothing to do with this article. Why would the next posted articles be pulled? Especially the one about a civil war. I thought it was a very poignant piece..

That is what I was thinking. How arrogant can they get? Now they think they can own the world.

By mid-century California will be nothing but a collection of ultra-insane leftists, illegals, dope growers, the astronomically wealthy,
and a small number of hard-core self reliant people hunkered down in hard to access remote areas in the mountains and deserts.

What about the harm California does to its forests by preventing the gathering of dead falls thereby enabling cataclysmic fires that destroy towns?

“Eighteen million acres of tropical forest are cut each year, the bill says, an act that both releases the carbon dioxide in the timber and ends the abilities of the trees to absorb additional carbon dioxide in the atmosphere”

Cutting the tree down does not release it’s stored CO2, only when the wood is burned or otherwise decomposed does that happen. Depending on tree species new growth may or may not store more CO2.

Yet another reason not to do business in California or with the State of California.
